Tonight I was able to confirm my ~2.5" B. albo lost both fangs during its last moult.
I dropped a cricket in tonight and it jumped on the cricket immediately, but as it attempted to "fang" the cricket I could clearly see 0 fangs. Essentially it was just gumming the cricket. Judging by the exoskeleton of the last moult I should be able to see those fangs
Last moult was November 25th.. it last ate on November 14th. Water bowl has been kept full as well as some minor substrate soaking to raise the humidity a tad. Surprisingly, only a small amount of weight has been lost. May try some "cricket soup" within the next few days. I may also try some cut up superworm - its eaten that before and the innards will be easy to access.
I'm bummed that the fangs are gone though. Hoping for a moult most likely end of Feb, but I'll keep this thread updated (if only for myself).
